Each person who holds the LML will annually renew the license as long as ministry remains in one place. If ever called to another location, the candidate would need to re-apply through that particular church and conference (even if remaining in the same conference). The license does not travel with the person. However, the eight year time frame in which to take the required four courses does not begin again. Courses must be taken from the time of the first issued license or the license will no longer be granted.

It is to the candidate's benefit to begin working immediately toward this goal. These courses are not part of a degree program but meant to enhance the theological perspective of the license holder. The candidate would also immediately enroll in the Covenant External Orientation Program, if a year has not been spent at North Park Theological Seminary.
